Interesting way to apply henna

It's my first time trying this method and so far it feels like the henna mass is much better distributed on my hear. Usually, I end of with a gigantic heavy bun or two that makes my neck really hurt. I'm sitting up and no neck pain!

Unfortunately, when I was 75% done I realized I wasn't always wrapping in the same direction so this may be hard to get out. I will let you all know when I'm done in a few hours.

I think that would work great for people who henna/indigo etc the whole head every time. I am a roots only henna person so I would be afraid that wrapping my non-roots hair around in the henna bun would cause henna to get on the unhennaed hair.

Re: Interesting way to apply henna

I tried something like that this past time. But my clarified and unconditioned hair was so frizzy I could barely separate the sections... I ended up separating into five sections or so and just wrapping each one around my head. They were too muddy to get more tangled, and I didn't have trouble rinsing. I suspect this would work for very long hair too.

Re: Interesting way to apply henna

So last night was an almost success. My hair did not get more tangled than normal but I couldn't seem to get all of the henna out. Although, I did use double than I normally use because I wanted to do more than just roots.

I think I will do it like this again, it really does help keep henna off of your neck and back!
